Barghest:
The Blood War is spilling out onto the Material Plane, and there is one way to close the portals to the Nine Hells and Abyss, respictively. To close the gate to the Nine Hells, a chaotic evil outsider of 10 or more Hit Dice must be sacreficed at the Nine Hells portal. To close the gate to the Abyss, a lawful evil outsider of 10 or more Hit Dice must be sacrificed at the Abyssal portal.
Most of the Devils have cleared away from the area, though, but one LE outsider remains: a lesser Barghest. Now, if the party could only find something to feed it to have it gain power and hit dice, so that it would be easily used for the sacrificial ritual...
...something like a village. Will the party slaughter an entire village of innoncents in order to quickly prevent the widespread destruction the Blood War will eventually bring. Or will they instead take their chances to find a 10+HD LE outsider; if so, how far will the Blood War get before the task is complete? Which option will save the most lives?
And, there's still the matter of closing the second portal...
Really takes that whole "Paladin kills Orc Babies" thing to the next level, don't it?
